YEARLY REPORT 2017 for SVDP

The Foodbank Project continues to do well and thanks to the generosity of our parishioners 460 kilos of food and provisions were supplied.

At Christmas our SVdP Conference supplied food to 12 families and a further 20 parishioners were helped with money chocolates and Christmas cards. We gave Victoria and Roxburgh £150 for their comfort fund for the patients.

Hospital Visits. Each week we try to visit the sick at Victoria Hospital. As well as distributing communion , we take time to speak to them and often to other patients in the wards who have very few visitors. (some have other faiths and some have none) We have only 5 SVdP members of whom only 2 are Eucharistic ministers namely Pauline Veal, Nick Toner and occasionally some members of the University Conference (usually Mitch Waite). Just last week John Mackay also volunteered to help. This year we have visited 328 patients.We are still awaiting a Chaplain for Royal Victoria.

We have visited many homes in the parish namely 328 but because of shortages of volunteers, we are unable to visit everyone we would like to see, including patients in the care homes.

When we gather together at mass, we are one body. We have one faith, one Lord, one Baptism. There is no longer European, African, American, Asian. We are one family of God, one community of believers. Each of us is important in the community. We have something to share. Just your presence is precious and valuable.
